Farmers from villages located in the vicinity of the Sai Baba Shrine @ Shirdi
have been feeding the leftover and waste food to their cattle instead of the regular fodder,
the exercise they claim to have significantly brought down their annual expenses.
According to Shirdi Saibaba Trust Executive Officer Ajay More, farmers from villages around the shrine in the district
are saving close to Rs.1 crore annually by feeding waste food to their cattle instead of the regular animal food.
The farmers collect leftovers from the dishes of devotees at 'Shri Sai Prasadalaya' and from hotels in the town, he added.
"Many farmers from villages like Rahata, Astagaon, Nandurkhi etc. gather the leftover food and feed it to cattle.
I guess we collectively are saving close to Rs.1 crore (annually) by adopting this practice", said a farmer.
Shirdi town has more than 150 hotels and on-an-average 40,000 people eat their daily.
On an average 35,000 devotees take "prasad" at the "Shri Sai Prasadalaya" daily.
Animal Husbandry Officer S.M Sanap, however, cautioned that the practice
could adversely affect health of the cattle, especially if they are not used to this kind of diet.
